Any vacuum loss will cause engine running problems. I believe the "T" you're referring to is near the Brake Booster.

A "T" is nothing more than an intersection in a hose. In this case a Vacuum hose. Typically their made of plastic, they get old and brittle, crack or break. Some "T"'s also incorporate a check valve allowing flow in only one direction.

The cost would depend on the size, usually you'll find a blister-pack with assorted sizes in the general help section of any parts house, unless you already know you'll need a big one.. The cost is very inexpensive.

yea but the one in my car has a metal round body at the bottom that look like it burn out.........But 1 day I was driving and the hose pop and the car would not start intill I re-connect it..........Then when the car came back on the engine was knocking...........I got the car home and I use to less it run at less twice a week...........But 1 day I look and the same hose pop again from another location.

OK, I'm suspecting that's a check valve "T" that's done bad, allowing negative flow in extreme throttle situations.

That one might have to be specifically ordered. You can test it to see if it allows flow the wrong way be blowing / sucking on it.
